Regular jump is DMC's universal dodge.
It just seems crazy that Dante gets less effective options with the jump button than Nero. Why can't I do a more stylish but still-simple-to-input side dodge instead of just a jump?
gotcha I feel you. the regular trickster dodge with the circle button works a a dedicated dodge button if that helps.
Yeah, in bosses I can get into the rhythm of switching between Sword Master and Trickster, but when surrounded by enemies, I'd rather be using some Sword Master moves, which is why I'd be relying on the base dodge mechanics.
I don't have a gaming PC so I can't wait for next gen consoles or an SE version with less/shorter loading screens. It makes zero sense that retrying a mission forces you to load the mission intro cutscene and then loads you to the mission start/customize screen. So annoying.
With the sword equiped just switch to swordmaster and press circle. Dante's ghost swords nullify the ring.
Because they are different characters and play by different rules, that's what makes them distinct and awesome in their own way.
And really, most of the time the regular jump is all you need to get out of a sticky situation.
There are a couple levels that seem to need Nero (the ones in the city with the grapple points, and Gilgamesh) but mods should be adding the feature on PC sometime soon. Bloody Palace should alleviate the need to play as V at all once you're done with the main story.
Is Hell&Hell SOS level health or DMD level health for enemies? It's probably doable in SOS but you spend, like, literal minutes hacking away at people in DMD and it's not a great way to spend my time if that's how Hell & Hell goes
Yeah I would say so, Capcom definitely designed Devil Hunter difficulty and the revive mechanics so that anyone can really run through it without much trouble. Hell, once you beat mission 2, Dante gets something that is game breaking for that difficulty. I literally didn't have to actually learn how to fight any bosses after that aside from Dante's final boss.
Thanks to it, I don't really know how to use Dante efficiently in my SoS run, although that particular move is still bonkers in SoS.
I think it's meant to be SOS, but I'm about to check now, DMD level seems like it would be overkill.
While effective, jumping to avoid attacks always feels kinda clunky/goofy to me and not stylish at all.
Not at all, it's actually great because it lets you start attacking immediately from the air after the first portion of the jump avoids the enemy's attack. So there is no break in the action like with a regular dodge like in most games.
Don't think so, but it works with Air Hike so you get a triple jump basically.
Helps a ton during boss battles on higher difficulties. artemis, urizen, etc
Jump, air taunt, air hike, air taunt, triple jump, air taunt. whew.
Yeah, the extra height and opportunity to change trajectory should help a lot. I'll go grab it.
Thanks guys!
It's basically SoS mode but everything kills you in one hit. Just beating it is just a war of attrition thanks to the revival system. Getting all S ranks (which is required for and achievement/trophy) is incredibly difficult though.
Fuuckin christttttt Cavaliere DMD is insane, got him first try, but holy shittttttttttttttt. Like fuck that was some creedo ass upgrade
gonna try another run tonight. I crushed him on SOS before work today, so I'm hoping with my now-developed RoyalGuard skills I should be able to tough him out today
There's a trophy for S ranking every mission. Difficulty doesn't matter so you could do like 17 S ranks on DH then go down to Human for the rest. Of course if you want the plat you'll need to S rank every mission on every difficulty except HoH.
I thought you had to do it all on one difficulty, but turns out you don't, which is a nice time saver.
It's a crime that neither her or Trish got to do anything like this in this game.
Yup.
Reminder that the first time Lady speaks to Dante, she also shoots him in the face.
Twice.
While he's holding her from dropping.
What a savage, i'm glad i fought him loads on DH/SoS cause jesusssss.
He teleported away, then just straight up blocked my missile barrage and teleported on my face.
I never used royal guard on him, just parry everything. Only bosses i RG on are 17/19.
Dantes missions are already way harder, feels like they actually balanced the game around him this time.
And in this she's introduced naked and almost dead. I couldn't roll my eyes hard enough.
OP
OP
i'm bad at weapon parries lol. just godawful, only good with the flurry weapons like balrog or king cerberus
I wouldn't have... well, minded is strong, but it could have been made up for if her and trish got a few chances to show off their stuff.
Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Lady's characterisation even apart from not getting good action scenes in this one. At least Trish gets to talk a bit...
Ahhhhh that's why I didn't see em. Almost never leave swordmaster. Guess I need to change that!
I mean gunslinger is as essential as trickstar/swordmaster on DMD. SO if you're planning on seein this through, i'd get on that.
